El Diablo

Since David Ayer loves using Latinos in his movies, it shouldn’t have been a surprise when Santana was revealed to be his go-to El Diablo. Though he is one of the superhumans on the team, I actually doubt that he’ll make it until the end. Why? Because, like Slipknot, he is nowhere to be seen in some key scenes from the trailers. Furthermore, this is Ayer – and while El Diablo is a former criminal, he is still a Latino with a dark past. After Slipknot, he is most likely to be killed.

The character is based on the new 52 version of the comic books. In the comics, just like in the film, he has the power of pyrokinesis, being able to create and manipulate fire. Unlike in the comics, he doesn’t have a set outfit – however, his tattoos make up for it.

Furthermore, from the way in which he gazes at the fire and he refuses to use it against others, I can only assume that he is as conflicted as he is in the comics. Which is a great thing for Suicide Squad. And which, again, isn’t a great thing for the character himself.

Basically, this is a weakness that will get him killed.
